Pens beat Red Wings 4-3 in triple overtime (3-Jun-2008)
Epic game! The Penguins remain alive with a 4-3 triple overtime victory in Game Five over the Red Wings in front of 20,066 at Joe Louis Arena. Pittsburgh had a 2-0 lead after one period on goals from Marian Hossa and Adam Hall.

The Wings cut the lead to 2-1 after two and then scored twice in the first half of the third period to seemingly clinch the Cup. The Pens pulled the goalie with one minute to go in their season and Max Talbot banged one home with 34.3 to go to send it to overtime.

Also, in the third Sergei Gonchar crashed into the boards and left the game and Ryan Malone took a puck in the face and re-broke his nose.

The Wings were all over the Pens in the first overtime outshooting them 13-2 but Marc-Andre Fleury was brilliant and was easily the game's number one star.

Petr Sykora told color analyst Pierre McGuire that he would score the game-winner. He ended up being correct as Sykora scored a power play goal at 9:57 of the third overtime to force a Game Six Wednesday at Mellon Arena.
